2-(4-Methylbenzylidene)-malononitrile is a compound that has been shown to be nonlinear and kinetic. It has been stabilized by alkaline hydrolysis, which is the conversion of an ester into an alcohol by reaction with base. The electron-withdrawing substituent on the benzylic position increases the electrophilicity of 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)-malononitrile. This means that this compound can undergo reactions at a faster rate than other compounds because it can more readily accept electrons from nucleophiles in order to form covalent bonds. Quantitative analysis of 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)-malononitrile was achieved through kinetic measurements and resonance experiments. The hydroxide ion (OH-) is a good nucleophile for 2-(4-methylbenzylidene)-malononitrile, which stabilizes this compound and prevents it
